Test Drive: Ferrari Racing Legends gets new footage

As promised, MotoGamesTV uploaded some new footage from Slightly Mad Studios’ upcoming Test Drive game, Test Drive: Ferrari Racing Legends. This footage is from the X360 preview version and has ABS and TCS enabled (according to MotoGamesTV, those settings could not be turned off).

What really amazed me was the driver’s ability to avoid a 360 spin at the end of the clip. Now I don’t know if that was due to the assistance aids, but something like that was not possible in Shift 2. Test Drive: Ferrari Racing Legends looks promising and will be released this year on PC, X360 and PS3! Continue reading Test Drive: Ferrari Racing Legends gets new footage
